Customer Review Summary
Large fish and chips draws the most praise, reviewers calling it "super value" with "good tasting fish," and several return for the pies too, singled out for their "proper thick gravy" and chips that hold up without going soggy. The late-night opening hours also come up repeatedly, with reviewers noting most chip shops "close ridiculously early," and staff are described more than once as friendly and accommodating. A recurring smaller gripe is stinginess with butter on breadcakes, one reviewer noting it happened "for the second time." Kebabs draw the sharpest complaints: one reviewer reports a fly flying out of theirs after twenty years of otherwise minimal issues, and another describes finding deep-fried hair in their fish. A separate diner recounts an overcooked, rubbery cod and a kebab pulled apart and discarded, with the shop offering to remake the fish only for the exchange to end in a shouting dispute over the rest of the order going cold before it could be returned.
